Its because alotta people argue (generally and in court) that the light turned red after they crossed the light, therefore, there not running a red light. Here in Vancouver when they had red light radar's (they got taken away from most places).... you only got a ticket if the camera flashed you entering the intersection at red and then leaving... thus, two pictures of your plates... front and back showing clearly you entered the intersection on a red light and ran a red.....just thought I would shed some light on the matter....it still doesn't make wanna have the front plate though, lol.... personally, I hate it when cops sit there and give out tickets for not having plates or giving out tickets for not having your plate on the stock holder for motorcycles, etc (yes, they actually sit there and do this some days here in BC).... its like really, thats as important as your job gets.... like cummon go find something else to do... we happen to be on and off the #1 spot for car theft capital of auto.... hmmm....

sorry TAG for the popo criticism again, lol.
